Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats {with video}

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats

These freshly baked dog treats can be cooling on your counter today. Made with only a handful of ingredients.

Here’s how you make them:

You’ll start by whisking the shortening, and eggs, together. Followed by adding in the peanut butter, and canned pumpkin (making sure it was labeled 100% pumpkin, and not pumpkin pie filling). After whisking the shortening, eggs, peanut butter, and canned pumpkin together; it’s time to stir in the flour. With a wooden spoon you will stir in the flour until the mixture becomes crumbly. Use your hands to finish mixing, until a ball of dough is formed. Once a dough is formed and holds it shape, it is now ready to be rolled out on a lightly floured surface. The dough can be rolled out to about 1/4 inch thickness.

A small cookie cutter (1 1/2 inches) was used to make the dog treats. Place the treats on a non-stick baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 F degree oven – for 40 minutes. Allow the treats to cool completely, before giving to you dog.

Step One: Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Place a large non-stick baking sheet off to the side

Step Two: Whisk together the shortening and eggs. Add in the peanut butter, and pumpkin puree, whisking well.

Step Three: Stir in the flour and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly. Use your hands to form into a dough. Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness, and cut out treats. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 35 – 40 minutes at 350 F degrees. Allow the treats to cool completely before giving to your dog.

Hi Dawn, I’m glad to hear you like the skin cream recipe.
I haven’t used grain free flour. But, I’m sure coconut flour, or almond flour can be used. You may need to add more of the grain-free flour than the recipe calls for.

If you do make them grain-free, please, let us know how they turned out.
